Comment Re: Lies about Datacenters (Score -1) 30

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S WRONG. You're pathetically ignorant and brainwashed by the radical, anti-technology left. The new data centers don't use much water, are quiet (if they use gas turbines to generate power, the noise is shielded/insulated from the outside), and are designed to add more energy to the grid than they consume. They also create good tech jobs. ***GET EDUCATED***

Comment U of M should buy land elsewhere for data center (Score -1) 30

Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan are liberal/progressive and Communist Democrat SEWERS that are reflexively against anything that advances technology such as AI/Nuclear Weapons research data centers. They actually don't use much water, they are quiet, and are designed to generate and put MORE energy into the grid than they consume. They also create good tech jobs. OF COURSE the lefties & commies are against it.

I didn't word that carefully. You're not "denied" entry. In my experience they give you the option to turn back. If you insist you are legally allowed to enter the country and still refuse a search, then they will detain you and your devices until you comply.

Comment Claude gives up on me too (Score 1) 50

After a while I get a lot of excuses from Claude. So I clear the session. And start with new prompts. Generally I have to break the problem down into smaller pieces and connect the dots before the AI agent will agree that what I want to do is not only possible, it's the correct way to do it.

For what it's worth, I've had junior engineers get stuck and push back in a similar way. It's fine. If you don't know the answer, I can teach a human to methodically work through a problem to find answers. With an agent with limited memory and a small token window, there's only so far I can carry it. And each time I go into it, I have to repeat the process with the next session. That situation isn't likely to stand though, we'll soon see more AI models that are better and cost me even more money to run.

I'd like Android-in-docker. Run Android and have a perfectly usable phone. Normal PIN entry. Normal apps. Can make phone calls. Pretty limited text message log. And then start the docker container with your accounts, chat programs, etc. The key thing is I would want it to take over the messaging services while the container is running instead of having everything going to the outer dumb layer.

Not only is this good for agitators fighting government overreach. But it seems like a good way to have a work account on your phone without Google's terrible work profile feature that hands your phone's reset and lock requirements over to your corporate IT. and good for people who want to practice some better security and data hygiene in this era where 1 in 5 people experience identity theft, and AI tools are going to make that more like 4 in 5 in a year or two.

Customs agents do not need probable cause or a warrant to initiate a routine seizure and basic search of your electronic devices at a U.S. port of entry. Almost any seizure while under the border search exception is basically considered justified. So if you delete your phone, burn your wallet, tear up your love letter to your EX, flush your drugs, etc. The border agents can view that as "Destruction or removal of property to prevent seizure"

Don't like it? Write your legislature to reverse the long-held ruling.

On paper you have the right to remain silent anywhere. IANAL but you don't have to engage ICE or CBP or speak to them. You can legally refuse searches even in the 100-mile exclusion zone, although some agents will illegally put up a big fight and lie and threaten you a bunch, so it's almost never worth it.

Refusing searches at a customs inspection point at an airport should theoretically only escalate to denial of entry. Deleting your phone while the customs agent has the authority to do a border search and is in the middle of doing it is a felony and not Constitutionally protected. (18 U.S. Code Sec. 2232 - Destruction or removal of property to prevent seizure)
